Ifrit Fight

[Picoman]

See, I'd be fine if it were a subtle aetherial glow on a silver excalibur-style sword design, as if it were swirling around the blade, rather than a garish glow.

Now, in the design of the Ifrit weapons, I really would have preferred to see the glow effects reduced by a couple thousand K's (Kelvin, for those who are familiar with lighting dynamics), and it'd still be noticeable, but not so much that it becomes a distraction.

It's really not the glow I'm complaining about in general but the fact that the inclusion of the horn design as major functioning components of the weapons, and the fact that they are oversized, are things I take issue with. Like I've been saying in the past, for the Ifrit bow, I would have gone with using the horns as a handguard.

Here's a description of how it would look like: Let's take the model of Kokoroon's Nestpicker, replace the metal plates with Ifrit's horns, cut in half along the middle, and the halves mounted where the metal plates are. They glow, too, in the same way the video shows.

Tah-dah! Properly functional bow with Ifrit decor that LOOKS sensible.

Using the horns themselves to mount the string seems...weird. There's no "rebounding tension" at all, except in the string - and we all know strings on a bow are NOT supposed to "stretch".

Go make your own game if you are getting so upset, you seem to think you know what is right.

It is fine to have opinions, I'm not too hot for them but they are just one set of weapons.

And knowing SE, they're not even going to be the best weapons anyways.

That would make them look dull...like they were covered with a film of dirt.

I'm fine with those designs, perhaps the Pugilist and Archer weapons should be remade, though.

Yeah the Jester's cap is functional too, it makes mages into clowns

actually good point I saw the Jester set and went what?!?! that is the artistic direction? Apparently that is what Silver likes goofy off the wall no connection to anything armors! (Seriously where does the Jester connect into XIV?)

I could see it working if they ever added a PUP type job.

Pugilist and thaumatourge for me, the bow looks AWESOME!

Actually I think all pugilist weapons need a resize... people are just complaining about the size of ifrit's fist? All the HtH look overly large on my character I look at them and think if I punched something with those they would rotate toward me and I would be striking with my barefist...

I feel the same way.
